PhD Studentship into the use of novel organ perfusion techniques to investigate the cellular andmolecular processes involved in organ damage and repair.

Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship based in the University of Cambridge Department of
Surgery and funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Blood and Transplant Research Unit
(BTRU) in Organ Donation and Transplantation (http://odt.btru.nihr.ac.uk). The position will be based at
Addenbrooke’s Hospital on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (http://cambridge-biomedical.com) and will
commence October 2017.

The studentship will provide a maintenance grant and tuition fees at the UK/EU rate. Non-EU nationals can be
considered only if they already have the means to fund the overseas fees differential.

The BTRU in Organ Donation and Transplantation is one of four BTRUs funded by the NIHR in the UK and is a
partnership between the University of Cambridge, Newcastle University and NHS Blood and Transplant
(NHSBT). The overarching aim of the BTRU is to develop and evaluate novel approaches and technologies that
will increase the availability of suitable donor organs for transplantation, while improving graft survival.
The studentship will involve the use of novel organ perfusion techniques to investigate the cellular and
molecular processes involved in organ damage and repair.

Candidates should have (or expect to obtain) a first or upper second class degree in molecular or cell biology.

Applications should include a covering letter, a detailed curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of
two academic referees and should be sent by email to Dr Sarah Hosgood ([Email Address Removed]), to whom any
informal enquiries can also be addressed. If you are invited to proceed further, you will need to make a full
